About this facility
Springhill Medical Center in Mobile, Alabama, is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), operated on a for-profit basis and certified since January 1, 2016. An IRF provides intensive, coordinated therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients recovering from a stroke, major surgery, or serious injury, with the goal of regaining function and returning home. This differs from a nursing home, which generally offers lower-intensity, longer-term custodial care rather than an intensive daily therapy program.
According to CMS Care Compare, Springhill Medical Center discharges patients to the community — meaning they return home rather than to another facility — at a rate that is better than the national rate. Its rate of potentially preventable readmissions, both during the rehab stay and after discharge, is no different than the national rate. CMS's reported healthcare-associated infection measure for C. diff is also no different than the national benchmark.
Taken together, CMS rates Springhill Medical Center better than the national benchmark on 1 of 5 reported measures, with no measures rated worse. Some measures may not be published by CMS due to low patient case counts, which does not indicate poor quality — only that too few cases were available to report reliably.
Families considering rehabilitation after a stroke, surgery, or serious injury can use this CMS Care Compare data, current as of the latest published update, as one factor when evaluating options.
